The Arise story so far…

In March 2021, over 1,500 believers from nearly 100 different churches rose up together to pray for Sheffield.

We were emboldened in our faith in a new way. We formed new local relationships, and as a result people around Sheffield encountered Jesus for the first time.

Arisers told us that they felt more purposeful, connected, and energised: their faith was exciting them in a new way.

We know God has not finished fulfilling His purposes in Sheffield, so this year - like the persistent widow from Jesus’ parable
- we're continuing to pray to see Sheffield transformed. Let’s prayer-walk together this March!

Get involved!
